Honkai Star Rail: Starting With Marrying Acheron

Evidence has proved that Acheron is a woman of her word.

When Lin Shuang stood on the opposite side of Acheron, she realized that her strength, which could easily kill the world-ripping monsters, was not worth mentioning when facing Acheron.

The whistling of Acheron's sword was not heard until Lin Shuang was knocked nearly a hundred meters away and smashed into several abandoned buildings. Then the whistling sound of the knife cutting through the air could be heard soon after, like a mirage.

But that's not all.

What was even more terrifying was the murderous intent that Acheron released after she seemed to have really regarded Lin Shuang as an enemy.

Acheron crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant and came in front of Lin Shuang, who had no time to get up.

Her fingers gently pushed the blade.

Clang——

Acheron's eyes turned blood red.

The murderous intent with a hint of Nihility suddenly descended, bringing with it a huge pressure far beyond her previous examples.

The moment Lin Shuang met Acheron's red eyes, this trace of invisible power immediately made Lin Shuang lose the ability to resist.

The body can't even move by its own will.

Lin Shuang felt as if she had fallen into the deep sea, into the pitch-black abyss, with no light and no sound. Unfeeling.

It seemed as if everything in the world was disappearing.

Until this moment.

Lin Shuang finally realized the extreme power given by the Path.

True Nihility can never be equated with merely "giving up.". It is a force that denies all existence, a "nothingness" where even death and destruction do not exist.

However, even in this "nothingness," there exists a bloody, murderous intent that constantly oppresses Lin Shuang's will.

…

Acheron looked at Lin Shuang, who was standing there in a daze.

She gently loosened her fingers, put the long sword back into the scabbard, and gathered her strength again.

Really…

Acheron carefully felt the power of Nihility, and the erosion from Nihility stopped for some reason.

Not only did it stop, but even the effect on her was slowly fading.

I don't know to what extent it will retreat, but even if I use all my strength and draw on the power of the Path of Nihility, I can't stop it from making a comeback.

This made Acheron's mind difficult to calm down.

Her taste buds had returned. She even felt like she could remember more things recently.

Is it because of my encounter with you?

Acheron, who had regained her composure, looked at Lin Shuang, who was still affected by the power of Nihility, and couldn't help but raise her hand to gently stroke her cheek.

Tracing her hand across Lin Shuang's soft features.

The slight amount of power she released did not have any direct effect on Lin Shuang's physical body, but it was able to show her murderous intent and momentum closer to when she is at her peak state.

This kind of training is more effective for Lin Shuang.

Even if Lin Shuang failed, she would just have to lie down for half a day. With Acheron around, nothing could ever happen to Lin Shuang.

Acheron's fingers slid across her cheek, her eyes fixed on those empty blue pupils, and she muttered to herself:

"If there is any difference between now and the past... it can only be my encounter with you. Could all this be related to your ritual?"

Since meeting Lin Shuang, Acheron has been shocked more than once.

If it was just a miracle, why did it happen so frequently after meeting Lin Shuang?

No one can predict the outcome.

How would a person who has been fighting against Nihility in vain for a long time feel when she suddenly finds that she is no longer sliding into Nihility?

The loss of composure a few days ago was Acheron's true self, and her calmness now was just a result of her suppressing herself because she was uncertain about the outcome.

However, even so, the moment Acheron came up with this guess, she couldn't help but want to touch Lin Shuang and even had the urge to possess her.

Forever.

After coming into contact with the Stellaron, should I separate from Lin Shuang?

Before, the two had talked about this matter during their break.

Acheron has her own destination and journey, but Lin Shuang has not yet established her own pursuit in this world.

In the face of this problem, Lin Shuang gave an answer:

"My strength is not enough. If I stay with you, I will only be a burden to you forever. This is not what I want. Didn't you say that you would go to Penacony to participate in the concert in a while? See you then."

Acheron herself mentioned Penacony's Concert Hall during a casual chat.

There are also some famous places in the universe, which have been mentioned one by one.

When they were chatting, Acheron didn't have any other ideas, but now, Acheron feels a little regretful.

Just at this moment.

Acheron suddenly noticed that the ring on Lin Shuang's hand suddenly flashed twice without any direct light to reflect.

Then, Lin Shuang got rid of the power of Nihility and suddenly opened her eyes.

Such a scene caught Acheron's attention.

Lin Shuang, who opened her eyes, was still a little afraid of the power of Nihility.

The feeling of being forced to sink and constantly losing the ability to perceive and think is simply too terrifying.

Even though Lin Shuang knew that this should be the tempering given by Acheron, it was difficult for her to get rid of the influence of Nihility.

Just now, when Lin Shuang felt that she could not hold on any longer, she suddenly saw two lights in her vision.

Then she suddenly broke free from the power of Nihility and woke up from her fall.

Acheron kept looking at Lin Shuang. From what she had sensed just now, it was clear that Lin Shuang was about to collapse and would sink.

However, just as the ring suddenly flashed with light, Lin Shuang, who should have been trapped, broke free illogically.

"The power just now was Nihility, right?"

Lin Shuang looked up at Acheron and took the initiative to mention Nihility in front of her.

Recently, Acheron has revealed a lot of new information, intentionally or unintentionally.

And today, Acheron released the power of Nihility, probably because she was ready to mention this matter.

Just as Lin Shuang guessed, Acheron nodded:

"My power comes from the Path of Nihility, and being a Galaxy Ranger is just a convenient identity."

After finishing speaking, Acheron paused and asked:

"Just now, how did you break free? I thought you would fail."

Lin Shuang was also stunned at this moment. Didn't Acheron take the initiative to withdraw because she saw that she was about to fail?

"Didn't you just withdraw the power of Nihility and wake me up? Just when I couldn't hold on any longer, I suddenly saw two flashes of white light before my eyes, and then I woke up. Wasn't it you?"

Twice, white light.

Acheron keenly captured the key words, which was consistent with the reaction she had just seen on the ring on Lin Shuang's finger.

Come to think of it…In the photo from a few days ago, the ring seemed to be glowing.

I'm afraid this pair of rings is not an ordinary thing. Could they possibly help get rid of the erosion of Nihility?

She glanced at her left hand calmly, then shook her head and said:

"It wasn't me. In my opinion, if you fail, you will just sleep for half a day. I have no intention of withdrawing early."

"That's strange. Could it be that I am gifted and just had a breakthrough in battle?"

Lin Shuang scratched her head in confusion, misunderstanding that she was very talented in this area.

Acheron didn't comment. She suddenly asked:

"Lin Shuang, what is the meaning of the ring you gave me in the ceremony?"

"Significance?"

Lin Shuang looked at Acheron in confusion, wondering why she suddenly changed the subject to this.

But now she is no longer as nervous as before.

"It's just a token of the completion of the ceremony. Others can tell at a glance that you have performed the ceremony... Of course, this is only the case in my hometown. It has no special meaning."

"Yeah."

Acheron nodded and subconsciously touched the ring finger of her left hand with her right hand. It was unclear whether she accepted the explanation or simply did not intend to continue asking.
